Job description

About WPO:

The WPO Group is an independent European platform of renewable energy expert-services. Our clients are asset owners, investors, lenders and insurers. By providing asset management services on 6.4GW of wind and solar sites with a capital value of €6bn generating €1.5bn of electricity sales annually, WPO is the market leader in France, UK, Ireland and Sweden. Our integrated service offering also includes technical specialized SaaS, due-diligence, asset inspections, testing and insurance brokerage. WPO currently operates across 13 European countries through 37 offices or service points.

The Role:

Due to client expansion, we have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Management Accountant to join our renewables team supporting the financial and commercial management of key wind and solar projects. Predominantly taking charge of a wind or solar portfolio based within Europe, the successful candidate will have an assertive attitude, an eye for detail and a commercial mindset. Our new colleague will be responsible for the oversight and training of some junior members of the team, joining a senior team with a collegiate approach, and reporting directly to our CFO based in Paris.

Key to this role is maintaining strong relationships with the owners of the sites we manage, so a clear communication style and confidence to present financial data is essential. The role would suit someone with experience of direct senior stakeholder reporting in an SME environment or perhaps a practice accountant looking for their first move into industry. Due to the nature of our business, experience in a client services or audit background would be looked on favourably.

The role offers benefits including employer pension contributions, life assurance, 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays and the option to buy more), private healthcare and onsite parking. Flexible arrangements are available, both in terms of location and level of hybrid working, as well as working hours.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Prepare and oversee monthly, quarterly and yearly management reports
  • Key liaison to clients and relevant third parties
  • Create and manage P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash flow budgets
  • Oversight of period end close, payment processes, supplier relations and cash management
  • Review of statutory accounts, taxation (which will be prepared by external tax firms) and assistance during the external audit process
  • Line management and training of team members as needed
  • Seek out and implement efficiencies and process improvements
  • Assistance on ad-hoc projects as required

Skills & Experience required:

  • Fully-qualified CIMA, ACA or ACCA + 3 years’ experience within a relevant finance role.
  • Proven experience in producing detailed management accounts and financial reports for senior stakeholders / investors
  • Strong communication skills, including experience of presenting financial information to non-experts
  • Advanced Excel skills
  • Experience with online accounting systems
  • A second language would be highly advantageous (Swedish, French, Spanish, German, Norwegian, Finnish desirable)
